    I was weeding the garden earlier and found this small little thing, about an inch tall and an inch and a half wide. I'm hoping it's defined enough to recognize. There's nothing around the garden that really resembles it.

    *edit: There's this one actually... could it be a baby of whatever this is? (3rd photo)

    I've only been in this house since last fall, so I'm still learning what's here!

    Probably a bulbous anemone. The one on the right is something else, maybe a delphinium. After flowers open on each it will become more apparent what they are.

    The third one could be a type of geranium. Very unlikely that they are related. The small plant has distinct lobing quite distinct from the plant in the last image. Neither looks like a weed.

    #1 might be an Anemone.
